Using Relative Paths in Dependent Projects

I have crossed recently this issue: I have a project which depends on 3 other projects. Now I want to zip this project and open it on another computer. But then I get a message about broken project dependencies. The reason for this is that the paths to projects are stored as absolute so they don't work on another computer.

The solution is quite simple - you just need to move the definition of path of the dependent project from nbproject/private/private.properties to nbproject/project.properties and change the path to relative - e.g.:

project.DependentProject=/home/roman/projects/DependentProject

in private.properties is moved to project.properties and changed to:

project.DependentProject=../DependentProject

There is a good FAQ entry from Jesse explaining all the possible cases. Obviously things are a bit different if you use version control system.

NetCAT Is Getting Close - And You're Invited!

In less than 14 days we will announce beginning of the new NetCAT program. This is an opportunity for members our community to get involved in finalizing the 4.2 release of NetBeans. You can find more info about the past NetCATs here, here and here.

One of the changes I'm really happy about is that the coordinator of the NetCAT program will be Jiri Kovalsky. I think it's better that we have as a coordinator a person who is really involved in NetBeans project for a long time, actively communicates with our community and understands technical issues. He could not be a coordinator for 4.1 so I'm glad that he's back now.

We'll be announcing more info in next 14 days on netbeans.org, I just wanted to let you know we're preparing the program and this is an opportunity for you to tune up the features NetBeans developers are working on. The length of NetCAT is approx. 3 months and we'll appreciate your participation - it's important for us to get feedback about issues from real-life scenarios which we are not able to simulate in our environment.

The signup page for NetCAT will be announced on netbeans.org in next 14 days (I'll blog about it, too).

There will be many new features to try out... as for the hottest editor news I am now trying out the code templates (aka live templates) which will be commited to trunk during this week.
